Procedures for accelerated testing of brazed, honeycomb sandwich-type construction used in high performance aircraft are described. Cyclic tests involving alternate wetting and heating are described, including solution of the problem of introducing corrosives into the structure. Tests described involve segments of full-sized honeycomb panels, and the evaluation of components, some from and others not from full-size panels.

Data derived are useful to discriminate among alternate materials and processes but do not give results necessarily correlated with service experience. Long-time weather and service tests underway ultimately will be compared to accelerated tests to determine if there is correlation. 2.3.2
